<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8507495, member: 100459&quot;]I don&#039;t know how many of you remember President Eisenhower.&nbsp; My father served in the South Pacific in the Navy during WWII, so he didn&#039;t have much contact with Ike.&nbsp; However, after WWII, in 1972 (I was 5), he enlisted in the Army.&nbsp; He was transferred to Germany in 1972 or 73 to Landstuhl Army Hospital.&nbsp; I do remember listing to the radio that Eisenhower was elected President. Everyone on the base was happy.&nbsp; Many of them served with him or around him.&nbsp; We got back to the states in 1957 and I remember watching him going into the hospital.&nbsp; I think he had a back heart and they were watching him.&nbsp; I was about 10, but I do remember him.</p><p>My father collected many Eisenhower dollars and my brother and I split them.&nbsp; None of them were too significant.&nbsp; </p><p>To me, Eisenhower seemed to be a great man, soldier and president.&nbsp; They don&#039;t make them like that anymore. (My opinion, only.)</p><p>Thanks for showing us your Ike dollars.&nbsp; It brings back many memories.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
